The comments about the restrictions on the new Johnstone High pool of the "day use" is a strong one in favour of keeeping the existing pools open. Also the lack of bus links to new builds. There is no Spa or Sauna in the new units to be built also.

Surely it would be easier to transport the pupils to the pool rather than the public pool to the pupils? Never mind shutting the pool will help with finishing off the 'town centre'.
What improvements to public transport have been considered? How many of the councillors have walked the Beith Rd in the dark?
Either have a school pool or a public pool in a central location - both is not possible.

The proposed development will prevent me from being able to continue this (because of access, times available, support available etc.) The council has already removed the facilities available at Merchiston Hospital (modified pilates classes, gym areas, physiotherapists, appropriate disabled access) for limited access to the RAH. Short sighted and an abuse of political power!

We should be looking at improving our facilities not closing them. My older grandaughters and their friends are allowed to go to the local pool on their own as its close by, theres no chance they'll be allowed to go to Johnstone High or Linwood. My 5 year old grandaughter loves her swimming lessons in the local pool, so much for getting our kids active !

The council have assured Ren 96 that they will meet all their training needs so yet further reduction in available public swim time. Add on the transport and access issues and overall the council have a deeply flawed plan

The majority of the people currently using Elderslie and Johnstone pools will not be able to make use of the facilities at the new "hubs" due to transport,availability or mobility issues. I would like the council to tell us how they can justify council tax charges for Elderlsie when there are no local facilites for residents.

It would be imprudent to get rid of them, and is a ridiculous notion that will only harm the people of Renfrewshire that the council is purporting to support. You are meant to work for the people, not against them. Keep the pools.

Johnstone High is not a good location in the evenings because it is dark and isolated. People in the area are using public pools more as the credit crunch forces many to quit private and expensive health clubs - so attendance will go up and I believe it has already.
Think again Renfrewshire Council - and work with the community who are eager to help you.
